Episode 48: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 14

Episode Summary:

And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:14-20)

114 We are kings and priests tonight. What difference does it make whether we have or whether we haven’t? As long as we got God, we are more than conquerors. We are more than conquerors. We set in the Presence of God, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, taking Spiritual communion from the hands of Him that testified, “I was He that was dead, and alive again, and I’m alive forevermore.” Setting together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. O blessed be His holy Name. What difference does it make?
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They’re building a palace for me over There!
Of rubies and diamonds, and silver and gold,
His coffers are full, He has riches untold.

115 I met Him one day when I come from the battle. I laid my trophies down. I ain’t fought a battle since then; He fights them for me. I just rest upon His promise, knowing this, that I know Him in the power of His resurrection. That’s all that matters. What else does matter?

116 What can we do? Why taking thought can add one cubit to your stature? What do you care whether your hair is curly, or whether you got any or not? What difference does it make? If you’re old, if you’re gray, if you’re stoop-shouldered, if you’re not, what difference does it make? Amen. This is just for a spell, a little space, but That’s forever and forever. And as aeons of time roll on, as the ages roll on, you’ll never change, and go through His ceaseless Eternal ages. What difference does it make?

117 I’m so glad I met Him. I’m so glad He give me communion, one day, that same Melchisedec that met Abraham coming from the slaughter of the kings. Certainly. “The God of Heaven,” the El Elyon; the great “I AM,” not the I was; I AM, present tense. “And He blessed him.”
